2007 Mordorée Lirac

Drinking at home.

2007 Domaine de la Mordorée Lirac Rouge La Reine des Bois - started drinking 20 minutes after decanting. The nose was pretty nice with notes of leather and grilled meats. Slightly sharp on the nose, with a hint of chalk. After sitting in the glass for almost 30 minutes the wine was showing some nice, woodsy notes. A second pour about 45 minutes after decanting showed a wine which opened up more, with some exotic spices on top of the wood, a little minty, and still got the tannins. Showing some ripe fruit some 1½ hours after decanting. Third pour almost 2 hours in, with leather still showing in the fragrant nose with bacon fat, too. Third pour was more than 2 hours in and the nose was still kinda sharp, but remained very fragrant. Tannins still very much present. Pretty big wine.
